The Secret To A Successful Ministry

It was late, Gwen and the children were asleep, and I was sitting in front of the set watching the Late Show… How much time do I spend in front of that screen each night? I wondered. A couple of hours, at least. What would happen, Lord, if I sold that TV set and spent that time praying? I was the only one in the family who ever watched TV anyway.

What would happen if I spent two hours every single night in prayer? It was an exhilarating idea. Substitute prayer for television, and see what happened…

My life has not be the same since.
